Abstract

Castor (Ricinus communis L.) is an oilseed species, which in southern Italy is cultivated as annual during the spring-summer period under irrigation, but in most temperate areas such as those of eastern coast of Sicily, it could be grown as semi-perennial with no irrigation, by the adoption of AUTUMNAL SOWINGs. A field experiment was conducted in southeastern Sicily with the aim of assessing plant surviving, seed YIELD and OIL QUALITY of four castor genotypes originating from different geographical areas (two Sicilian, one Tunisian and one Brazilian). The favorable climatic conditions allowed the plant to survive during the fall-winter period. Seed YIELD reached 3.45 t ha-1 on average of the two years and seed oil content ranged from 45% (Tunisian cultivar) to 48% ('Local RG 2' Sicilian genotype). Oil YIELD reflected the variation in seed YIELD. Genetic diversity for fatty acid composition and saponification number, iodine value and cetane number was evidenced. When ricinoleic acid is not taken into account, the oil of all genotypes satisfied the EU standards for BIODIESEL. The ricinoleic acid was the lowest (79%) in the Sicilian ‘Local RG 2’ and the highest (89%) in the Tunisian one, revealing a greater suitability of oil of the first genotype for BIODIESEL. In turn, the oil of Tunisian genotype could be exploited in other bio-based industrial sectors. The study also demonstrated that in the southeastern coast of Sicily AUTUMNAL SOWINGs might be advantageous for castor grown as semi-perennial crop, mainly since they allow saving irrigation water.
